All Work and No Play

It's been too long since I last updated. Sorry loves! I have been working nonstop everyday and finally today I got a day off. But even with my day off, my schedule was packed! Anyhow I managed to take a few quick pictures.

I had an interview this morning in which I actually had to wear a full suit (a rarity since career fairs in college). Then I went home for a quick change before scrambling to meet my boyfriend and run errands. For some reason I wanted to keep my white oxford shirt on and decided to plan my outfit around it. Fortunately for me, it didn't rain today unlike the past couple days, so I took my wedges out for a spin.

Starting tomorrow again, I will be working nonstop until next tuesday, which I intend to indulge in a mani & pedi and haircut. Until then, I shall be slaving away.

I'm too tired to slap you. Bash your face up against my palm.

During black Friday I kind of went and bought two pairs of animal printed booties that I have yet to wear out of the house. I got them in zebra and leopard print and love both, but don’t have anywhere to wear them. I would love to wear them with any simple outfit to make it interesting. Lately I’ve been in a funk with my clothing because I’m tired of everything that I have… I need more suggestions in where to shop because at this point I’m running of ideas.

I own this tank in 4 different colors, it's a great basic, I like stuffing my hands in the pockets on the sides. I have a tendency to purchase things that are cheap and comfortable in many different colors.

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing...

I had an early start today, waking up at 6am to be at work early for a short meeting. After work, I even went to the gym. I feel great! Went to work, went to the gym all before noon. I should really wake up at 6 everyday, I feel more productive that way.

I am heading out real soon but I figured I should post while waiting for my cousin.

Today is full of sunshine but there's a bitter chill in the air.

Laundry Day

Sunday is usually laundry day for me. It is time to wash away last week's dirt and start this week nice and fresh.

Waiting for laundry to be done can take a while...so in the meantime I had a little bit of fun with my camera. Hehe...Since the lighting in my laundry room is terrible, I was trying to find ways to make my pictures look less yellow. Photobucket has a great program which allows you to apply effects to photos. Hmm..I definitely like the drawings better than the actual photos. =)

maybe there is an alligator running around with me as a handbag...

I haven't had a chance to wear this dress out considering the weather. My fellow blogger Anita helped get me this dress on sale at Topshop for $15.. so I figured why the hell not, although Anita and my boyfriend were against the thought of me even liking it in any sort of manner. I kind of sort of love this dress.. unfortunately I'd get some weird stares if I wore this around my neighborhood..

I purchased this lace piece on Etsy (Babooshka Boutique I believe).. it originally had ill fitting long sleeves which I decided to cut off and now it fits me a bit better.

If I had any nice spring/summer dresses, I'd definitely be breaking them out this weekend, it's been beautiful all week here.

Step into Spring

There's nothing like the warmth of sunshine that makes me wanna put on my twirly skirts and sexy nude heels. I was fortunate enough to have today off- in which I had some fun in the sun at a park near me. Oh, and please excuse my extremely sun deprived pale legs.

Did you spent the day outdoors?

I am only alive when there is sunshine

Ohh Mr. Sun- Finally, we meet again! This whole weekend was just terrible. Between the gloomy skies and the heavy downpour of rain, it was down right miserable for me. I really feel my moods depend on the weather, when there is sunshine I am the happiest person in the world. When it rains for more than a day, I literally feel that I am getting depressed!

Well, I just wanted to make a quick post before I head off to work! I was channeling Lady Gaga today.....Hmm yea...I can definitely get used to this high 50s weather! =)

P.S. Mr Rain, please go away and don't come back until a far far away day!

The one who has to turn the lights on 14 times or the oceans will dry up?

I finally have electricity at home and my friend Joyce is back for spring break so I figured I'd utilize her to snap some pictures for me.. much easier than running back and forth with the timer. Decided I'd go outside even though it was drizzling for a change of scenery.. also a nice option when I am not trying to balance the camera on some table or piano! I also realize I tend to squint when taking pictures.. it's odd.

The jacket is from last year.. people find it strange when I don't have it buttoned up but I'm used to it and like the look it gives. The cardigan is actually a men's extra small from Club Monaco, I like the masculine fit of it on me.

It was tough to have my friend take pictures with me.. I couldn't stop laughing.. so I decided to end with one.

lights out

24+ hours of darkness.. the first night was spent reading by candlelight. My town was dead.. I felt like I was in a zombie movie for some reason.. super creepy.

Pretend to think, pretend to think.

Pretty much explains work today. I woke up with some nice wavy but damn my asian hair because after an hour it straightened out.

My co-workers like to call these my combat boots that I stomp around the office. They are the Frye Veronica Lace up. The leggings are American Apparel winter leggings, love these for cold weather, they are so thick and comfortable. The leather jacket I purchased on Asos.com, they have a lot of great stuff there and shipping is very reasonable considering it's coming from overseas. The Vivienne Westwood Diamante Armour Ring I spent forever hunting down but it was worth it, better than I imagined.

Make it or Break it

So you know how a lot of times, you have a really cute outfit on and all there is left to complete it is the shoes? Well, I was definitely dealing with this tricky dilemma today. I found an old Urban outfitters sweater dress tunic in my closet and decided to pair it a wide leather belt and black leggings. Now which pair of shoes should I wear?!? Shoes can either make the outfit or they break it....

Here were my three choices:

Option 1: flat perforated peeptoe booties (urban outfitters)

These shoes compliments the outfit to give off a more relaxed/boho look to the outfit.

Option 2: black cuffed booties (joyce leslie)

The black booties really elongated my legs and turn this outfit into a more refined look.

Option 3: Knee high laced up open toed boots (urban outfitters- by jane aldridge of sea of shoes)

These boots definitely set an edgy feel to the whole outfit and made it chicly fun.

What was your favorite choice of shoes to complete this outfit- 1, 2, or 3??

Letting her hair down

Wore this to work yesterday minus the heels.. when I got home they were sitting outside my front door and I immediately put them on to take some pictures. Had to roll up my jeans a little to show the shoes off, slightly awkward but whatever. Also trying to grow my hair out.. it's never been super long on account of the fact that I have too much hair for my own good. My hair is made up of layers upon layers upon layers and my bangs have become semi non existent. Not sure what I'll do for my next hair cut though.. any ideas?

The Sun is On My side

The past couple days in New York have been joyously warm and full of sunshine. I have been more then ready to kiss my winter coats goodbye! So with the sun on my side, I took a stroll in my neighborhood on this beautiful day.

Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather like I am!
